| 20 | + | x | ÷ | ( | 100 | + | x | ) | = | 0 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 100 | + | x | ) |
| 20 | ( | 100 | + | x | ) | + | x | = | 0 |
| 20 | × | 100 | + | 20 | x | + | x | = | 0 |
| 2000 | + | 20 | x | + | x | = | 0 |
| 2000 | + | 21 | x | = | 0 |
| 21 | x | = | 0 | − | 2000 |
| 21 | x | = | - | 2000 |
| x | = | - | 2000 | ÷ | 21 |
| = | - | 2000 | × | 1 21 |
| x | = | - | 2000 21 |
| x | = | - 95.238095 |
